chinle arizona, pediatrics, medical staffing network

I had to test for kaiser and my recruiter sent me a practice test that was very similar to the test I had to take at the hospital. Talk to your recruiter about this.

i am currently working at chinle and I love it here. working nights pcu. I just signed for my second contract. where did u work and how long ago.

I like you fell in love with pediatrics during my nsg school rotation. after graduation I went straight to work on a pediatric med surg unit for 1 yr. after 1 yr in med surg i went to picu. I worked their for 6 months then started traveling. I wish I would have stayed in picu for 6 more months b/c you can't get a PICU contract with 6 months exp in PICU and that is where i love to be. I would say you do not have to have adult med surg exp first b/c most adult urses do not do peds and most peds nurses do not adults. I now travel as peds med surg hoping to get a break back into the picu. i wish u luck on your carreer as a peds nurse.

That is a little deeper than I first thought. This is a hard subject for anyone. It is hard to tell a fellow nurse their personal care is effecting patient care. She needs to talk too management but she has to keep her name out of it or risk her friendsip with him. this is a hard situation and there is no easy answer but in his specialty it is no place to be impaired I wish I could offer better advice.

I am a type I diabetic and I know personally how he feels. Bad glucose control can effect your ability to provide proper patient care. The only problem with diabetics is we do not like to be labeled as freaks. If you are really a true friend talk to him away from work. Do not make it seem you are trying to correct a wrong.Talk too him like you are concerned about hishealth away from work. Maybe catch him on a off day and treat him too lunch and express it as a concern to his health not like a punishment. DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT talk to him about his diabetes control at the nurses station around other people even though he brings it up. It makes him feel like he is neglecting himself and this makes his control even worse. I have been in his situation and nothing makes me madder than a non-diabetic talking to me about glucose control even if they are right. Try to express concern for his health and see if this will help. Hopefully this may help you. Please do not tell him that his glucose control is impairing his patient care he will feel handicapped and not able to do his job and this hurts. Beleive me I know. Just try it from a concerned friend perspective and tell him you would like to be able too work with him for many more years and help him through this. He may have personal problems that may be causing his glucose control neglect. This is a very hard thing to talk too a diabetic about it is much like walking on thin ice there is a thin line between helping and hurting in this case. Best of luck

I am currently looking at a RV as a travel option. Is there anyone out there traveling via house on wheels with ant advice on this? :confused:

working 36 hrs a week bringing in about 1100$ a week. got a 60 hr week check coming this fri. will be nice.

I currently travel with Medical Staffing Network i know there are companies out there eith better deals but my recruiter is awesome so that is my reasoning. met another nurse with same company that was dissatisfied but she was unhappy with recruiter. My advice is go with a comapany witha package that suits your needs and a recruiter that does the same.

You know what that white stuff on top of a pile of chicken s#$t is don't you? It is chicken s#$t!! Remember even though your on top you are still a part of the pile! My favorite work saying. Do not judge a person until you you have walked in their shoes. :yeahthat:

If you go into nursing for the money you are doing it for the wrong reason. I would tell anyone that was thinking about going to nursing school this. Although we are payed well it will never be enough to compensate for watching a 15 yo kid die on oyur watch b/c of some stupid drunk driver. I could never be compoensated with money for what i have seen in my short two years of practice. I still think of that one patient that made me want to be a nurse when I was crying my way through nursing school. To be honest with you I would do it still for less money just to see that one 6 yo smile when I came into his room.

oh yeah if you do not have one buy a laptop and a cheap small printer e mail is easier communication than postal serv
